A fire jet, as seen in Super Mario 64
A fire jet[1] (also called flame spurt[2]) is a mechanical, indestructible flamethrower found in Super Mario 64 and its remake. The appearance of a fire jet varies depending on the level:
- In all of the Bowser levels and Rainbow Ride, fire jets are stone and diamond-shaped.
- In Big Boo's Haunt's merry-go-round, one of the Boo portraits acts as a fire jet.
- In Hazy Maze Cave, there are two fire plumes that come out of the pit before the Red Coin area, which act like a fire jets.
- In the main course of Lethal Lava Land, one appears near the volcano as a black brick. There are also fire plumes along the path of the moving platform that takes the player to the Red-Hot Log Rolling Power Star. Inside of the volcano, they appear as holes in the walls.
- Also in Rainbow Ride, there is a blue fire jet under the spinning platform next to the floating ship, and a fireplace that acts as a fire jet.
About every three seconds, a fire jet shoots a stream of fire from its center. If hit by the flames, the player character will lose three life points and run around in a panic, making it difficult for the player to control them. If the character jumps repeatedly while they're on fire, their movement will be limited and may only take two points of damage.
Functionally similar entities, called Fire Cannons, appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2.
